Allison Kleeman

About

Dr. Allison Kleeman is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving functional outcomes after robotic radical prostatectomy, particularly through preoperative pelvic floor assessment. Her most cited study, "Using Preoperative Pelvic Floor Assessment to Predict Early Return of Continence after Robotic Radical Prostatectomy" (2021, 5 citations), demonstrates her commitment to patient-centered care by identifying factors that can accelerate urinary continence recovery—a critical quality-of-life concern for prostate cancer survivors. This work bridges the gap between surgical technique and rehabilitative medicine, offering clinicians evidence-based tools to counsel patients and tailor postoperative care. While her citation count reflects an emerging career, Dr. Kleeman’s research addresses a pressing clinical need: reducing the burden of incontinence after prostate surgery. Her contributions are particularly notable for integrating objective pelvic floor metrics into preoperative planning, a novel approach that may standardize continence prediction. As she continues to publish, her work holds promise for refining robotic prostatectomy protocols and enhancing patient outcomes. Dr. Kleeman’s research exemplifies how targeted, translational studies can directly improve surgical recovery and quality of life.
